The meeting of Vladimir Putin and Nursultan Nazarbayev clearly not pulled a sensation. This year alone, the two leaders met at least three times and several times talked on the phone. It would seem that all the favorite themes – the parameters of the turnover to the development of the Eurasian integration – must be exhausted for a long time. However, recent events – in particular, a reconciliation between Russia and Turkey – have filled a routine visit to a new sense of

On Hurriyett newspaper issued a diplomatic “secret” last week: it turns out, the president of Kazakhstan was the main mediator in the negotiations between Moscow and Ankara, and did much to to this reconciliation took place. According to journalists, during the Petersburg Economic Forum, Nazarbayev managed to persuade Putin to accept a letter of apology from Erdogan. Then he subtracted personally prepared by diplomats and translators Russian-language version of the message. Finally, organized its transfer through an assistant GDP Yuri Ushakov at the SCO summit in Uzbekistan.
Since Hurriyett as well as the rest of the Turkish media after the coup is under tight state control, a special reason to doubt the validity of the facts presented there. Yes, and Erdogan has already publicly thank Nazarbayev for mediation in the settlement of the Russian-Turkish crisis. “A friend of mine spent a lot of talks with President Vladimir Putin in a difficult period when we have with Russia soured relations, and contributed greatly to the fact that their correct”, – said the Turkish leader at a joint press conference with his Kazakh counterpart in Ankara on 5 August. By the way, for this visit, which occurred on the eve of a crucial meeting of Erdogan and Putin in St. Petersburg, in Nursaltana Nazarbayev also had no apparent reason – the end of April, when he last visited Turkey in the bilateral agenda is hardly anything has changed dramatically
The Russian political scientists and experts previously predicted that the leitmotif of the trip Nazarbayev in Sochi will be the restoration of Russian-Turkish relations and the prospects that it opens for Kazakhstan, the Eurasian integration and the entire region. They were right, but not completely. Putin, indeed, after Erdogan thanked the guest for his diplomatic efforts. “Your mediation mission a success We are sincerely committed to the restoration of full relations with a friendly Turkey.” – Said the GDP before the talks in the “Bocharov Creek”, highlighting the unique nature of long-term Russian-Turkish friendship. According to the President, the recent Erdogan’s visit to Russia confirmed the “mutual disposition” is not simply restore the old relationship and communication, but also bring them to a higher level
-. In that conflict we clearly adhere to the position of Russia, – hurried assure Nazarbayev – but with them (the Turks) we also have a connection. And if something has been my help, then I think it’s good
-. Yes, this is true – supported Putin
However, this mediating role. President of Kazakhstan, apparently, does not end there. Encouraged by the success of a mission, he seems set to another. And maybe not in one. It is only in the post-Soviet space has at least two hot spots – Ukraine and Nagorno-Karabakh. “I try to be included to the extent possible”, – Nazarbayev remarked modestly
-. I called Poroshenko recently – he said, looking at Putin – and said that to accept the status (status law, which insists the Kremlin ) Donbass and other republics that there can not be – he has no majority in parliament. Such statements, according to the president of Kazakhstan, according to Poroshenko’s readiness to compromise on the issue of settlement of the situation in the south-east of Ukraine. But unfortunately – not all in his power
Vladimir Putin listened to this confession with an indifferent face.. And to the disappointment of journalists left him without comment. In his speech he emphasized the tradition of Russian-Kazakh relations: tovaroobrot reduced – it is necessary to discuss in detail how to reverse the decline. Sophisticated in the Byzantine wisdoms Nazarbayev understood correctly and did not insist. Moreover, that request for a new mediation mission he has already done … Now the ball on the other side.
